Answer:
(-1, -3) and (1, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Use a graphing calculator to graph out both lines:
(See picture)
Both lines intersect at points (-1, -3) and (1, 1). These are the solutions for the system of equations.
A) If you cut off half the peaks (3.5 ft down from the top), they will just fill the valleys making a rectangle 18.5 ft by 30 ft. The area is the product of these dimensions.
A = (18.5 ft)*(30 ft) = 555 ft²
b) To determine the number of quarts of paint required, divide this number by 90 ft². Since you cannot buy a partial quart, if there is any remainder, use the next higher integer number of quarts.
555/90 ≈ 6.2 so Pat should buy 7 quarts of paint.
9090 is 70% of 12,985.7143
7 1/2÷ 1 9/10 = 15/2 ÷19/10 = 15/2x10/19 = 159/38 = 4 7/38
